Am I correct in my understanding of what Mr. McCarthy is saying that what was happening was that, under the directive, when a person arrived in a European country, that was where he or she had to seek status and seek asylum? Did the Dublin declaration mean that, if they were coming here, that was a secondary move, and while that was what was happening, that is what finished in July or August?
